DIY Christmas Decoration

Okay I think most of you have already prepared everything for Christmas Eve (you have, haven’t you? :-P) and your houses are like sparkling in glitter and gold you need to put sunglasses when entering! Darlings! Stop daydreamin’n’get back to planet earth, please! We have what you need! These diy ornaments are for last minute tree decorators, like Irene (she did it just yesterday.. shh! :-P). And if you don’t have any space for a real tree, don’t miss these diy mini pines. Now let’s get doing. You’ll need:
– polystyrene balls (or any shape you prefer)
– scrap textiles (better if gold, red and green) and ribbons
– scissors
– pins
– nail file
– box cutter

Start by dividing your ball in slices with the cutter. Using the nail file, squeeze the fabric into the slices just made and cut off all excess material. Repeat this step for all the slices until your ball is completeley covered up. Now cover the border of the slices with ribbon, fixing it with pins. On the top you can add any ribbon you love, and voilà! Done! It took 15 minutes!

Have you finished your Christmas gifts? Or are you totally going in panic and will get everything like the 23rd of December? Tell us about your adventures right now. We’re crazy in love for stories.
